September 2nd....seems so far away!

This journey has taken so long and I never once felt scared until I finally got my date. Anyone else feeling the same way? V-

i got my date in june and it seemed so far way. now it is less than 7 weeks and I am thinking that it is coming up fast. I'm sure we will go through all sorts of emotions and thoughts between now and our new life. Abyb

it taking me 1 yr to get my date and yes, ever since i got my date i have been going through up and down ...scared, excited, feeling like the date are taking forever to there flying by

Hi, i also am anxious, nervous, excited, scared. What a rollercoaster of emotions. My date is Sept 5th. But that's only 37 days until I am reborn YAHOO Theresa

Hello, My surgery is also scheduled for Sept 2. I received the date in June and at that time it seemed SOOOO long away. Now, its just one month from tomorrow!! Whoo, hoo! I still find it pretty unbelievable that this is actually going to happen. Its almost surreal to me. I've been heavy for so long (I know you all know that story!). I'm so excited that a dream will finally come true and I'll be given a new lot on life. Its been a long process though.......I first tried to get approved in May 2007, denied, had to go through 6 month dr supervised weight loss program, lots of hoops to jump with my insurance and then finally approved the end of May 2008. whew! Anyway, just wanted to share and say "hi" since we will be having surgery on the same day!! Will you be on a liquid fast before surgery? I have to start on liquids 2 weeks prior.....on 8/19. Not looking forward to that, but I know its a means to an end! Lisa

Hi everyone my surgery date is Sept. 02 also. This happen very fast for me. In June my PCP told me to consider having this surgery due to medical problem on sit of dubieties and sleep apnea. Yes I'm scared and happy I'm also lost. I would like to stay in touch to have some one to compare progress or if we run into any question that we may have may be we can bounce them off one another.
